There are several essays on the CLTL blog addressing program outcomes and featuring interviews with individual program participants. As far as I know, the demographics of the participants are probably different depending on the location of the CLTL branch. If you are interested, you can contact me at eayer@umassd.edu (I am the web editor for CLTL) and I can help you with further information. Thank you for drawing attention to CLTL and our blog.

I watch using subtitles when I need to. Right now I need to. And, when I show the Dracula film in class, I will have the subtitles if they need them.

I suppose it depends on how fluent you are: I know if I watched a German film without subtitles, I wouldn't understand enough to be useful.
